Hey, he has zero left to infer opposite tiny humans, right? But now in retirement, Phelps does need to parlay his mythological jaunty career into high-profile gigs of several sorts, and so it is that he will star in this year’s installment of Discovery’s “Shark Week.”

Here is a breathless content about a wire channel’s “Great Gold vs. Great White” event, from Thursday’s news release per a renouned annual shark-stravaganza, set to atmosphere in late July:
